Just+unjust Wars (w/new Preface)

A classic treatment of the morality of war written by one of our country's leading philosophers, with a new introduction considering the wars in Bosnia and Kosovo.

Walzer's classic work draws on historical illustrations that range all the way from the Athenian attack on Melos to this morning's headlines, and uses the testimony of participantsdecision makers and victims aliketo examine the moral issues of warfare.Walzer, Michael is the author of 'Just+unjust Wars (w/new Preface)' with ISBN 9780465037049 and ISBN 0465037046.
